AKT Statistics & Evidence-Based Practice
Evidence-based practice accounts for 16 of the 160 AKT items, and in recent sittings it has been the domain in which candidates scored lowest. Eleven pocket-sized units take you from study design to Cates plots, with worked examples, live calculators and exam traps flagged.
Open Statistics & EBPDiabetes-Cardiorenal-Metabolic Medicine
Heart failure, chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular prevention as one connected system — reviewed against the 2026 ESC Heart Failure and ESC/ERA cardiovascular–kidney guidelines and the July 2026 CVD Modern Service Framework, with the NICE position you must use in the AKT.
Open Cardiorenal-MetabolicThe domain that separates candidates
Evidence-based practice is a small share of the paper, but it is where marks are most often lost.
For ICBs, training hubs and medical schools
Every unit is also available as a SCORM 1.2 package for your own learning platform.
SCORM 1.2 packages
Single units or topic bundles that run in Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard and NHS platforms, reporting completion, score and pass or fail.
Curriculum-aligned

Reviewed and kept current
